Peakboard OEE Software vs Poka

Peakboard OEE Software records machine run times, unit counts and scrap, then continuously calculates availability, performance and quality. It assigns reasons to losses and keeps OEE values for comparisons across shifts and periods. Operators can enter downtime and its cause by touch when a machine has no interface. Machine data can come through OPC UA, Siemens S7, MQTT or Modbus; target values, orders and inspection results can come from SAP, MES or a SQL database. Ready-made OEE applications can be customized with drag-and-drop tools or Peakbot without code. They run inside the customer network on a Peakboard Box or existing Windows hardware, without middleware. OEE values can also be stored with timestamps in Peakboard Hub for comparing shifts, lines and periods. Peakboard lists a free plan and a 180-day trial, with paid plans from €49/mo (annual). The Peakboard Box supports one monitor over HDMI, and splitting a visualization across multiple monitors is not intended.
